Below is a typical day for me...and you all wonder why I have feck all to do in work
Boss: You need to write a script! We need it asap, get to it!!
Me: Yessiree, siree!
1: Computer's b0rked
> Try to find who's responsible
2: Computer's the wrong computer
> Try to get my one back
3: Computer got plugged in too hastily, mixed-up the keyboard and mouse whilst not paying attention
> Have to reboot the computer to make them work
4: Shortcut to server has vanished
> Ring guy who knows aboot such things
5: Guy who knows aboot such things is gone
> Try to copy shortcut from another computer
6: That's the wrong shortcut
> Ring someone else to ask for their shortcut
7: They're busy
> Get them to call back to get the details later
8: Scripting has since been disabled on that server
> Send email to random guy to get it re-enabled
9: First guy calls, apparently testing was never enabled on that server
> He's gonna look into it for me, I have to wait
Waiting...waiting.....

Evil subconscious
Yup! 'Tis official! My subconscious is infinitely evil!
I have this talent right, if I really really need to get up at a certain time, I can set an internal clock. I just repeat the time in my head over and over before I go to sleep and I generally wake up in or around that time. It's very handy, doesn't always work and I use it as a backup to the good old alarm clock.
Last night, I did *not* set this internal alarm. This morning I was quite happily snoozing my alarm clock and accidentally sleeping in. However, my subconscious had other plans. Instead of me just coming fully and completely awake for no reason (that's the internal alarm clock method) my subconscious decided to shake me awake, literally! It remembered that while I was sleeping late I was becoming perilously close to missing my morning briefing, so it took matters into its own hands. I woke up because my entire body convulsed, I shook all over, leaping aboot an inch off of the bed! I wasn't having a nightmare, I don't have epilepsy, my subconscious simply decided that the best way to wake me up was to shake my entire body 'til I woke up fully...

Long weekend + sun == yay!!!
Lovely weather atm, long may it last, touch wood and all that. I'd a *very* long weekend just past!
Let's start on Thursday, I had work on Friday, but tis a good place to start.. The lads finished their exams, so...off to the pub!! We went to see X-Men 3 first, imho (and quoting Niall), they shat all over it!! >:( Wasn't half as good as it shoulda been, I'm very annoyed!! Then we went on to the Mezz and all sorts of frolics and fat frogs were had. w00t!
The night ended, alas, and I had to make my way home whilst the other's went back to a house-party :/
Friday, up for work, or rather, in for the fry-up, early enough...but it was sunny!! So lunch just *had* to be spent sitting on the grass in the sun! Siobhan couldn't join me, the wench had taken time off work *especially* to sit in the sun this week, but she got sunburnt the day before. Not that I'm jealous or anything, but it serves her right! ....then karma kicked in and I got sunburnt too, thankfully not too much!
Saturday, out in the sunshine for me! I discovered that my balcony doesn't actually get the sun during the day, so off out into the grass behind our flat! I um...may have accidentally exposed myself, don't think anyone was looking, who'd have thought that gravity would have something to say aboot my bikini?!
Anyways, then I headed into town to look at some plastic ducks have a race, I shit you not! My bro was interested in going so along we went, got bored, went and sat in Temple Bar with ice-creams and sun and all sorts of jolly frolics! We even got a duck each :D
Saturday night, out for the eldest sibling's birthday. We went to Sin รจ. It's actually quite nice, some poor old gent with a long beard and a big hat got moved from his seat cos of us, we just clustered aboot him and he got frightened away...whoops!
So the night ended, and no taxis were in sight, bastards went on strike, so good ole Stevie was willing to put me up and even give me his bed!! Bless, what a gentleman! :D
Sunday involved getting home and changed then out to Greystones. I was aiming to get there aboot 3/4pm, didn't arrive til after 6! It took me four and a half hours to get from my flat to Greystones! I just kept missing darts, most of them by 1 min or so >:( Twas very vexing! However, I finally made it! Ppl were met, faces placed with names, gifts exchanged, hugs demanded and birthday greetings delivered, so twas all good!! :D
My old roommate, Cony, gave me a call-back eventually! :) I'd been trying to ring her all day but couldn't get through so she had to ring me back in order for me to wish her a happy birthday (yes, three birthday's in one weekend, two actually on the same day!) Chatted to her for ages AND I might get to see her when I'm over in NovaRock!! Yays!!! :D
Monday...well, I slept, it was good. :) Then I watched Stargate, which was bad. :( They decided to kill off a character.....I cried.....alot! :,( Kev didn't answer his phone to console me either >:(
Anyways, I finally got up, showered and headed over to Niall's, just in time for a bbq! :D Sitting on a blanket in the sun, with a cold brew and bbq food...it was, as we say, the life! After this, myself and Niall got busy putting up a tent! A few cans really help! Anyways, it's a good big one (good man Queuey!) which will be perfect over in Austria! This all sorted, down to Myos with us, which I'd never been in, all sorts of entertaining til I had to head home.
When I got home... >:( Dave has been leaving the sitting room window open *all* the time cos he's "too warm". Windows open at night == SPIDERS!! >:( One of whom was *massive*!! I had to get rid of him myself cos they wouldn't!! Mean boys! Thankfully he was on the ground, so a good hearty wallop from my boot sorted him out..but honestly! I'm terrified of spiders, STOP INVITING THEM IN!!! >:(
Well..now I'm back in work so that's it!
